How to set up a RadioLINK+ / RadioLINK interconnected system (House Coding)

RadioLINK+ and RadioLINK use Radio Frequency signals for wireless interconnection making installation quicker and easier. Once you have installed all your RadioLINK products you will need to set them up in a system to recognise each other and then close this system off to avoid the alarms being triggered by neighbouring systems – we call this House Coding.

Step 1 – Ensure all your alarms have been installed and tested and you have inserted your Ei100MRF modules into your 160e Series and Ei2110e alarms

Step 2 – Push a screwdriver into the House Code slot on the side of the alarm or RadioLINK base

Step 3 – Hold it in until the blue LED comes on solidly, then release

Step 4 – Remove the screwdriver and the blue LED will flash once every 5 seconds (approx.) to indicate that it is in House Code mode and is looking for other alarms

Step 5 – Repeat the House Code process in Steps 1-4 above with all the bases or alarms in your system

Step 6 – All the bases in the system will start to flash blue. Check that the number of flashes is the same as the number of alarms in the system, e.g. if there are 3 alarms, the blue LED will flash 3 times every 5 seconds on every alarm

Step 7 – Once the correct amount of flashes is present on every unit, insert a screwdriver into the House Code slot on the side of one of the alarms or bases until the blue LED comes on solidly, then release

Step 8 – The blue LEDs on all units will now stop flashing and the entire system will automatically ‘seal’

Step 9 – The alarm system has now been House Coded. Press and hold the test button on each alarm in turn and check that all alarms in the system sound

Although we recommend the above procedure for House Coding and sealing a RadioLINK system, it is worth noting that the system will manually seal itself after 30 minutes once put into House Code mode.

RadioLINK+ additional features

RadioLINK+ units have an additional ‘remote House Coding’ feature which makes it easier to add new units to an existing system that has already been House Coded

Step 1 – push a screwdriver into the House Code slot on one of the existing House Coded units and hold until the House Code LED flashes a green, blue and red tri-colour. This will put all the existing RadioLINK+ alarms in the system into Remote House Code mode

Step 2 – A new alarm can then be added into the system. Put the new unit into House Code mode as described above and again check the number of flashes matches the number of units in the system. Once the number of flashes on all units is correct, seal the system and test as described above
